Adjournment Township of Oro-Medonte Committee of Adjustment Planning Report for September 14,2006 Elma Wylie 2006-A-25 THE PROPOSAL The applicant is proposing to construct a deck and enclosed sunroom addition at the rear of an existing single detached dwelling. The deck and sunroom have a total area of 31.5 m2 (340 n\ and will be setback approximately 12.8 metres (42 feet) from the shoreline of Bass Lake, and approximately 2.4 metres (8 feet) from the east property line. Zoning By-law 97-95 requires a 3 metre (9.5 foot) setback to interior side lot lines in the Shoreline Residential Zone. As well, section 5.3.1 of Zoning By-law 97-95 requires that all buildings, with the exception of boathouses and pumphouses, be setback a minimum of 15 metres (49.2 feet) from the average high water mark of Bass Lake. MUNICIPAL POLICY, ZONING AND PREVIOUS APPROVALS Official Plan Designation - Shoreline Zoning By-law 97-95 - Shoreline Residential (SR) Previous Applications - none AGENCY COMMENTS (space is for the Committee to make Public Works Department - Building Department - Engineering Department - No concerns Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority- PLANNING FRAMEWORK Background The subject property has a road frontage of approximately 15.2 metres (50 feet) having a lot depth of approximately 45.7 metres (150 feet), and a shoreline frontage of approximately 18.5 metres (60.7 feet) and a lot area of approximately 0.08 hectares (0.19 acres). A single detached dwelling and one accessory building currently exist on the subject property. The proposed deck and enclosed sunroom is to be located at the rear of the dwelling facing onto Bass Lake. The proposed deck and sunroom is located 2.4 metres (8 feet) from the east interior side lot line, where a 3 metre (9.2 foot) setback is required, and 12.8 metres (42 feet) from the water's edge, where a 15 metre (49.2 foot) setback from the average water mark is Do the variances conform to the intent of the Official Plan? in the Shoreline in the Official Plan. Section D10.1 which contains the Official Plan sets out the is To maintain the character of this residential area. To the natural features of the shoreline area and the immediate shoreline. The requested variance for the proposed deck and sunroom would appear to maintain the character of the shoreline residential area, as the proposed deck and sunroom are common architectural features found in residential neighbourhoods. Therefore, the variances would conform to the general intent of the policies contained in the Official Plan. Do the variances conform to the general intent of the Zoning By-law? The subject lot is currently zoned Shoreline Residential (SR). The primary purpose of the setback requirement from Bass Lake is to protect the natural features of the shoreline area in general, and the immediate shoreline of the subject property. The interior side yard setback has been established to provide access to the rear of the property, along with preserving privacy from and for neighbouring properties. A site inspection revealed that several mature trees, along with high hedges and other dense foliage exist along the east property line. Therefore, given that the applicant is seeking a reduction for the side yard setback of approximately 1.2 feet and that the proposed deck and sunroom will be constructed in line with the exterior walls of an existing dwelling, coupled with the existence of a natural treed buffer, privacy for neighbouring properties would not appear to be negatively impacted. The Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (NVCA) has been circulated this application for comment on the proposed setback variance from Bass Lake. At the time of writing of this report, comments have not yet been received. Committee should note that the existing single detached dwelling complies with the 15 metre (49.2 foot) setback to Bass Lake. On this basis, the variance would conform to the general intent of the Zoning By-law; however, clearance from the NVCA will be recommended as a condition of approval. Are the variances appropriate for the desirable development of the lot? Based on the site inspection, the proposed deck and enclosed sunroom will not change the overall character of the dwelling, and would appear to be appropriate for the desirable development for both the lot and the surrounding residential area. Are the variances minor? On the basis that the proposed deck and sunroom are common features in residential neighbourhoods, and will not have a negative impact on privacy or access for either the subject or surrounding properties, the proposed variance is considered to be minor. CONCLUSIONS The proposed variance generally satisfies the tests of a minor variance. RECOMMENDATIONS It is recommended that the Committee grant Minor Variance 2006-A-25 subject to the following conditions: 1. The proposed attached deck and sunroom shall be setback no closer than 12.9 metres (42 feet) from the average high water mark of Bass 2. The proposed attached deck and sunroom shall be setback no closer than 2.4 metres to the easterly interior side 3. That the setbacks be in with the dimensions as set out the as 4. That the applicant obtain approval from the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority, if required; 5. That an Ontario Land Surveyor provide verification to the Township of compliance with the Committee's decision by 1) pinning the footing and 2) verifying in writing prior to pouring of the foundation by way of survey/real property report. 6. That the appropriate building permit be obtained from the Township's Chief Building Official only after the Committee's decision becomes final and binding, as provided for within the Planning Act R.S.O. 1990, c.P. 13.

The land to be severed is proposed to have a lot frontage of 50.3 metres (165 feet) along Line 4 South, a lot depth of approximately 200 metres (654 feet) and a lot area of approximately 1.8 hectares (4.5 acres). The land proposed to be retained would have a lot frontage along Line 4 South of 71.63 metres (235 feet), a lot depth of approximately 85 metres (279 feet) and a lot area of approximately 0.6 hectares (1.5 acres). MUNICIPAL POLICY, ZONING AND PREVIOUS APPROVALS Official Plan Designation - Industrial Zoning By-law 97-95 -Economic Development (ED) Zone Previous Applications - None AGENCY COMMENTS (space is provided for the Committee to make notes) Simcoe County Public Works Department- Building Department-The Township Building Dept has reviewed this application and note that the proposal appears to meet the minimum standards Engineering Department- Residents very sensitive to development in this area. Site plan should require burming and planting along lot lines PLANNING DEPARTMENT BACKGROUND It is the applicant's intent to create a new lot fronting on Line 4 South in the Winstar Industrial Park. The land proposed to be severed is currentl~ vacant with a significant amount of tree cover. The retained lands have an existing 1000 m (10,765 ft2) industrial factory. OFFICIAL PLAN Section D7.4 of the Township's Official Plan provides the following direction to Committee in considering an application for consent in the Industrial designation: New lots Registered adopted been use can be created by consent or other means in a of Subdivision that existed on date this was if issues to servicing access have already with when the If the proposed lot is approved, both the severed and retained lot would comply with the minimum lot area and minimum lot frontage in the Economic Development (ED) Zone. ANALYSIS The nature of development proposed appears to be appropriate for the creation of a new industrial lot for an industrial use on the subject property which will be consistent with the surrounding industrial uses. The proposed consent generally conforms with the Official Plan on the basis that the proposed lot is located within an existing plan of subdivision which predates the Official Plan. Furthermore the site appears to be adequately serviced and capable of accommodating a range of potential industrial uses. On the basis that the proposal will permit the creation of a new industrial lot that would satisfy all zoning provisions and will maintain the intent of the Official Plan policies, the consent application is deemed to maintain the intent of the Official Plan and the Zoning By- law. CONCLUSION The applications generally conform with the lot creation policies of the Industrial Designation in the Official Plan. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that Committee Approve Provisional Consent for application 2006-B-20 subject to the following conditions: 1. That three copies of a Reference Plan of the new lot be prepared by an Ontario Land Surveyor and be submitted to the Secretary-Treasurer; 2. That the applicants solicitor prepare and submit a copy of the proposed conveyance for the parcel severed, for review by the Municipality; 3. That the applicant dedicate to the Municipality a fee of $500 for each new lot created for industrial or commercial purposes as cash-in-lieu of a parkland contribution pursuant to Section 53(13) of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990 c. P. 13.; and, 4. That the conditions of consent imposed by the Committee be fulfilled within one year from the date of the giving of the notice of decision.

The deck, enclosed stairwell, and second storey additions have a total area of 98.9 m2 (1065.2 ft\ The applicant is requesting the following relief from Zoning By- law 97-95: Proposed Front Yard Setback (to proposed deck) Zone Required Front Yard Setback Shoreline Residential (SR) 7.5 metres 4.52 metres MUNICIPAL POLICY, ZONING AND PREVIOUS APPROVALS Official Plan Designation - Shoreline Zoning By-law 97-95 - Shoreline Residential (SR) Zone Previous Applications - none AGENCY COMMENTS (space is provided for the Committee to make notes) Lake Simcoe Conservation Authority - No objections, Permit issued August 29, 2006 Public Works Department- Building Department - No concerns, OLS to pin foundation & provide verification to building department for setbacks. Engineering Department - No concerns PLANNING FRAMEWORK Background The subject property has a road frontage of approximately 30.2 metres (99.3 feet), a lot depth of approximately 40 metres (103 feet), and a lot area of approximately 0.11 hectares (0.26 acres). The lands currently have a single storey dwelling and attached garage with an area of approximately 195.7 m2 (2107 ft\ The applicant is proposing to add a second storey, consisting of 73 square metres (789 square feet), and a balcony on the front of the dwelling consisting of 30 square metres (321 square feet). The applicant has proposed to construct the second storey on the existing dwelling to be a distance of approximately 6 metres from the front line, and the balcony is proposed to be 4.5 metres (14.8 feet) from the front line. The purpose of this minor variance is due to the location of the house, which encroaches into the 7.5 metre front setback as in the Shoreline Residential Zone. Committee should note that the Township conveyed a portion of land to the front of the subject property to correct a situation where it was discovered that the existing single detached dwelling was in fact encroaching onto the road allowance for Myrtle Avenue. However, the conveyance did not provide the existing dwelling unit on the subject property with an adequate front yard to meet with the Township Zoning By-law requirements. Does the variance conform to the general intent of the Official Plan? The property is designated Shoreline in the Official Plan. Section D10.1 which contains the Shoreline policies in the Township's Official Plan sets out the following objectives: To maintain the existing character of this predominantly residential area. To protect the natural features of the shoreline area and the immediate shoreline. The requested variance for the new dwelling would appear to maintain the character of the shoreline residential area as a second storey addition and balcony are common architectural features in residential neighbourhoods. Further, while the subject property is designated "Shoreline", the dwelling in fact does not abut Lake Simcoe; The Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority has subsequently reviewed and issued a permit for the proposed addition. Therefore the variance would appear to conform to the general intent of the policies contained in the Official Plan. Does the variance conform to the general intent of the Zoning By-law? With respect to the reduced front yard setback, the proposed location of the dwelling is in keeping with the character of the surrounding neighbourhood, as many existing residential structures in the area have been constructed closer to the front property line than permitted under current Zoning By-law setback provisions. As such, the proposed dwelling would appear to generally maintain the "building line" on this particular section of Myrtle Avenue. A site inspection revealed that despite the reduced front yard setback, adequate parking space for passenger vehicles will exist at the front of the proposed dwelling, and that parking in this location will not likely impede or hinder road maintenance vehicles (such as snow ploughs) on Myrtle Avenue. On the basis of the above, the proposal is considered to conform with the general intent of the Zoning By-law. Is the variance appropriate for the desirable development of the lot? Based on the site inspection, the proposed addition to the existing dwelling would appear to be appropriate for the desirable development of the lot, and would be in keeping with the general characteristics of the surrounding residential area. Further, the proposed dwelling constitutes a form of development that is permitted within the Shoreline Residential Zone, and is compatible with the surrounding neighbourhood. Is the variance minor? On the basis that the dwelling would not adversely affect the character of the Shoreline Residential area, nor impact on traffic and Township maintenance operations on the variance is considered to be minor in nature. CONCLUSIONS The application to permit an addition to an existing dwelling on the subject property generally satisfies the four tests of a minor variance. RECOMMENDATIONS It is recommended that the Committee grant Minor Variance 2006-A-26 subject to the following conditions: 1. The proposed "balcony addition" at the front of the proposed dwelling shall be setback no closer than 4.52 metres (14.8 feet) from the front property line, measured from the south- west corner of the "balcony"; 2. That the setbacks be in conformity with the dimensions as set out in the application and on the sketches submitted with the application dated August 8, 2006, and approved by the Committee; 3. That an Ontario Land Surveyor provide verification to the Township of compliance with the Committee's decision by 1) pinning the footing and 2) verifying in writing prior to pouring of the foundation by way of survey/real property report; and, 4. That the appropriate building permit be obtained from the Township's Chief Building Official only after the Committee's decision becomes final and binding, as provided for within the Planning Act R.S.O. 1990, c.P. 13.

The applicant has previously appeared before the Committee of Adjustment on August 10, 2006, where this application was deferred due to revised setback distances being submitted for the proposed single detached dwelling (as shown on the attached sketch). As such, it was necessary to re-circulate the revised proposal to neighbouring properties within 60 metres. The applicant is requesting the following relief from Zoning By-law 97-95: 1) That the minimum required interior side yard setback be reduced from 3.0 metres (9.8 feet) to 1.5 metres (5 feet) on the south interior side yard and; 2) That the minimum required interior side yard setback be reduced from 3.0 metres (9.8 feet) to 2.45 metres (8 feet) on the north interior side yard and; 3) That the minimum required front yard setback for the proposed deck be reduced from 7.5 metres (24.6 feet) to 2.7 metres (8.9 feet) and; 4) That the minimum required front yard setback for the proposed dwelling be reduced from 7.5 metres (24.6 feet) to 3.85 metres (12.6 feet). MUNICIPAL ZONING AND PREVIOUS Official Plan Designation - Shoreline Zoning By-law 97-95 - Shoreline Residential (SR) Zone Previous Applications - none AGENCY COMMENTS (space is provided for the Committee to make notes) Public Works Department - No concerns Building Department - Lot grading and drainage plan required for review by Township Engineer. Applicant to verify that sewage system meets with minimum required setbacks as per Part 8 of the OBC. Designer to provide calculations for unprotected openings re: limiting distance. Engineering Department - No concerns of a shoreline a lot area of approximately 0.07 hectares (0.18 acres). The lands currently have a one-storey dwelling with an area of approximately 107.36 m2 (1155.6 ft\ The applicant is proposing to demolish the existing seasonal dwelling and build a new one-storey single detached dwelling with additional loft living space. The ground floor area for the new dwelling is proposed to be 197.72 m2 (2128.24 ff) and will meet the required 15 metre (49.2 foot) setback from the average high water mark of Bass Lake. The purpose of this minor variance application is due to the placement of the new dwelling, which is proposed to include a front deck to be located 2.7 metres (8.8 feet) from the front property line with the dwelling unit to be located 3.85 metres (12.6 feet) from the front property line. The dwelling is also proposed to encroach into the interior side yard setbacks, to be located 1.5 metres (5 feet) from the south interior side lot line, and 2.45 metres (8 feet) from the north interior side lot line. The Township Zoning By-law requires a 7.5 metre (24.6 foot) front yard setback and a 3 metre (9.5 foot) interior side yard setback for the main dwelling unit in the Shoreline Residential Zone. Does the variance conform to the general intent of the Official Plan? The property is designated Shoreline in the Official Plan. Section D10.1 which contains the Shoreline policies in the Township's Official Plan sets out the following objectives: To maintain the existing character of this predominantly residential area. To protect the natural features of the shoreline area and the immediate shoreline. The requested variance for the new dwelling would appear to maintain the character of the shoreline residential area as the dwelling will meet the minimum required setback from Bass Lake. As well, the side yards of the property contain cedar hedges and several large, mature trees which will serve as a buffer between the proposed dwelling and neighbouring properties to the north and south. Therefore the variance would appear to conform to the general intent of the policies contained in the Official Plan. Does the variance conform to the general intent of the Zoning By-law? The subject lot is currently zoned Shoreline Residential (SR). The primary purpose for maintaining side yard setbacks in residential areas is to ensure that privacy between properties is maintained. As noted earlier, the existing hedges and mature trees on both the north and south property lines will provide a form of buffering to ensure privacy for the subject and neighbouring lands. Initially, the applicant had requested a variance for the north and south interior side yard setbacks of 1.85 metres (6 feet). Staff noted concerns with this reduced side yard setback, in that access to the rear of the property would be hindered. Through discussion with the applicant, it was agreed that increasing one of the side yard setbacks would be more appropriate for access to the rear of the property. Accordingly, the applicant has submitted a revised site plan depicting a north interior side yard setback of 2.45 metres (8 feet). The proposed 2.45 metre (8 foot) north interior side yard setback is considered adequate to provide access for emergency, maintenance, and construction vehicles. As well, being that the proposed septic system is located in the rear yard, the additional side yard setback will additional room for septic maintenance equipment. With respect to the reduced front yard setback, the proposed location of the is in keeping with the character of the surrounding neighbourhood, as many existing residential structures in the area have been constructed closer to the front line than under current Zoning setback provisions. As the proposed dwelling would appear to maintain the line" on this section of Greenwood Avenue. The site inspection revealed that the proposed dwelling should not adversely impact the residential neighbourhood, as the new dwelling will not encroach into the required 15 metre (50 foot) setback from Bass Lake. It is noted that the existing dwelling appears to be within this setback; therefore the proposed dwelling would improve this deficiency. In addition, the applicant has indicated that the existing wood post fence at the front of the property will be removed. A site inspection revealed that despite the reduced front yard setback, adequate parking space for passenger vehicles will exist at the front of the proposed dwelling, and that parking in this location will not likely impede or hinder road maintenance vehicles (such as snow ploughs) on Greenwood Drive. On the basis of the above, the proposal is considered to conform with the general intent of the Zoning By-law. Is the variance appropriate for the desirable development of the lot? Based on the site inspection, the proposed new dwelling would appear to be appropriate for the desirable development of the lot, and would be in keeping with the general characteristics of the surrounding residential area. Further, the proposed dwelling constitutes a form of development that is permitted within the Shoreline Residential Zone, and is compatible with the surrounding neighbourhood. Is the variance minor? On the basis that the dwelling would not adversely affect the character of the Shoreline Residential area, the proposed variance is considered to be minor in nature. CONCLUSIONS The application to permit a new dwelling on the subject property generally satisfies the four tests of a minor variance. RECOMMENDATiONS It is recommended that the Committee grant Minor Variance 2006-A-23 (REVISED) subject to the following conditions: 1. The proposed "wood deck" at the front of the proposed dwelling shall be setback no closer than 2.7 metres (8.9 feet) from the front property line, measured from the north- west corner of the "wood deck", and shall be setback no closer than 1.5 metres (5 feet) from the south interior side lot line and 2.45 metres (8 feet) from the north interior side lot line; 2. The proposed dwelling shall be setback no closer than 3.8 metres (12.6 feet) from the front property line; 3. The proposed dwelling shall be setback no closer than 1.5 metres (5 feet) from the south interior side lot line and 2.45 (8 feet) from the north interior side lot 4.

The addition and deck was approved for a reduced rear yard setback of 6.15 metres (20 feet) from the rear property line. On August 10, 2006, minor variance application A-25/91 was deferred to allow time for the applicant to consider amending the application for the setback from the deck to the rear property line. The applicant has since revised the application by reducing the setback distance from the rear property line to the existing deck from the original proposed distance of 5.1 metres (17 feet) to 4.5 metres (15 feet). The reason for this revised setback distance is to allow the applicant flexibility to replace floor boards in the future with the possibility of enlargement of the deck. MUNICIPAL POLICY, ZONING AND PREVIOUS APPROVALS A-25/91 - Committee of Adjustment approved the construction of a deck, where a reduction in the required rear yard setback of 7.5 metres to 6.15 metres was granted. Official Plan Designation - Shoreline Zoning By-law 97-95 - Shoreline Residential (SR) AGENCY COMMENTS (space is provided for the Committee to make notes) Municipal Works/Roads- No Concerns Building Department - Existing deck has not been inspected. Engineering Department - No concerns PLANNING FRAMEWORK Background The subject property has a lot frontage of approximately 30 metres (98.4 feet) along Greengables Drive, a lot depth of approximately 50 metres (164 feet) and a lot area of approximately 0.14 hectares (0.36 acres). The property currently contains a single storey residential dwelling. The applicant has recently constructed a new deck, located at the rear of the dwelling. The new deck is subsequently located 5.1 metres (17 feet) from the rear property line. Therefore, this new deck does not meet the previously-approved 6.15 metre (20 feet) rear yard setback. addition, the applicant now seeks to further reduce the rear yard setback to 4.5 metres (15 to allow for future enlargement of the deck. As a permission is required from the Committee of to the setback Does the variance conform to the general intent of the Official Plan? The property is designated Shoreline in the Township Official Plan. A single detached dwelling with a deck is a permitted use on lands designated Shoreline. Does the variance conform to the general intent of the Zoning By-law? In assessing the issue of conformity with the Zoning By-law, the deck addition should not detract from the overall character of the lot and surrounding neighbourhood. As well, the rear yard setback has been established to ensure privacy for both the subject property and neighbouring dwellings. A site inspection of the property revealed that several large trees and shrubs exist at the rear of the subject property, and as well, that the dwellings neighbouring the rear of the subject property are setback approximately 25 metres (80 feet) from the property line. Due to this setback and the existence of a tree buffer, privacy for neighbouring properties would appear to be maintained. Therefore, the application conforms to the general intent of the Zoning By-law. Is the variance appropriate for the desirable development of the lot? Decks are common architectural features for residential dwellings. As well, due to the existing vegetation buffer and separation between existing dwellings, this application will not have a negative impact on the residential character of either the subject property or neighbourhood. Therefore, this application represents appropriate development for the property. Is the variance minor? On the basis that the deck would not adversely affect the character of the Shoreline Residential area, the proposed variance is considered to be minor in nature. CONCLUSIONS Relief from the previously-approved reduced rear yard setback would not appear to have a negative impact on surrounding properties, as this application generally satisfies the 4 tests of a minor variance. RECOMMENDATIONS It is recommended that Committee approve the revision to Minor Variance Application A-25/91, subject to the following conditions: 1. That Committee recognize the existing deck, and that any future deck renovation and/or addition shall be setback no closer than 4.5 metres (15 feet) from the rear lot line; 2. That the setbacks be in conformity with the dimensions as set out in the application and on the sketches submitted with the application and approved by the Committee; 3. That the appropriate building permit be obtained from the Township's Chief Building Official only after the Committee's decision becomes final and binding, as provided for within the Planning Act R.S.O. 1990, c.P. 13.

Township of Oro-Medonte Committee of Adjustment Planning Report for September 14, 2006 Jerome & Linda Cunningham 2006-A-22(Revised) 2 Nevis Ridge Road, Lot 11, Plan 535 (Oro) PROPOSAL On August 10, 2006, minor variance application 2006-A-22 was deferred by the Committee of Adjustment which would permit the construction of a detached garage with an area of 62.4 m2 (672 ft2) to be located in the front yard of the lot. The applicants have since submitted a revised site plan showing the detached garage being relocated closer to the dwelling, being setback 17.7 metres (58 feet) from Jermey Lane. MUNICIPAL POLICY, ZONING AND PREVIOUS APPROVALS Official Plan Designation -Rural Residential Zoning By-law 97-95 - Rural Residential One (RUR1) Zone Previous Applications - None AGENCY COMMENTS (space is provided for the Committee to make notes) Public Works Department- No road concerns Building Department- Engineering Department- No concerns PLANNING FRAMEWORK Background The subject property has a lot frontage of approximately 64 metres (210 feet) along Jermey Lane, a depth of approximately 69 metres (226 feet) along Nevis Ridge Drive and a lot area of approximately 0.44 hectares (1.1 acres) and is presently occupied by a single detached dwelling and an attached garage. The Township's Zoning By-law provides the following definition in determining yards for a corner lot: FRONT Means the line divides lot the street, in case of: a comer lot, the shortest be deemed to be the lot lines that divides the lot from the street The applicants are proposing to construct a 62.4 m2 (672 fe) detached garage to be located in the required front yard a distance of 17.7 metres (58 feet) from the front lot line, Jermey Lane. Section 5.1.3 (a) of the Township's Zoning By-law states that detached garages are not allowed in the front yard. The minor variance application is for the construction of a detached garage to be located in the front yard and also for an increase in height from the required 4.5 metres (14.7 feet) to 5.2 metres (17 feet). The Four Tests of the Minor Variance Does the variance conform with the general intent of the Official Plan? The property is designated Rural Residential in the Official Plan. The main objective in the Rural Residential designation is to recognize existing estate and country estate developments in the Township. Permitted uses in the Rural Residential designation are mainly single detached dwellings and accessory uses. The applicant's proposal does not appear to offend these principles given that the variances will accommodate development of a detached accessory building accessory to the permitted residential use and would not appear to have a negative impact on the character of the residential area. On this basis the proposal is considered to conform with the intent of the Official Plan. Does the variance conform with the general intent of the Zoning By-law? The subject property is zoned Rural Residential One (RUR1). Based on site inspection, the proposed building is situated which proves to be the most ideal location for a building. One of the purposes of maintaining minimum front yards in the Rural Residential One Zone is to maintain and protect the estate residential character of a single detached residential community. However, it is also the intent of the By-law to permit accessory uses that are reasonable and incidental to a residential use. Given that there will be adequate on site parking and the garage will be setback 17.7 metres (58 feet) from the front lot line, Jermey Lane and approximately 40 metres (131 feet) from Nevis Ridge Drive, and the proposal for the increase in height is considered reasonable and minor in size, the proposed variances are considered to conform with the general intent of the Zoning By-law. Notwithstanding the front yard, the proposed detached garage will be located behind the existing dwelling as a result of the orientation and placement of the dwelling facing towards Nevis Ridge. Is the variance appropriate for the desirable development of the lot? The applicant's lot is a relatively large rural residential property and the proposed building appears generally compatible within a rural residential context. Based on the site inspection, the detached garage with an increase in height would appear to be appropriate for the desirable development of the lot and in keeping with the surrounding residential area. It also should be noted that the applicants have submitted a revised sketch indicating proposed landscaping in the front yard, adjacent to Jermey Lane and around the proposed garage, buffering it from street. On this basis proposal is considered appropriate the desirable development of the subject Is the in contrast with the and lot lines affect the character of the rural residential area, the proposed variances are considered to be minor. CONCLUSIONS The proposed variance generally satisfies the 4 tests of a minor variance as follows: 1. The proposal is considered to conform with the intent of the Official Plan as the proposal does not appear to offend the principles of the Rural Residential Designation. 2. The proposed variances are considered to conform with the general intent of the Zoning By-law. 3. The proposal is considered appropriate for the desirable development of the subject lot. 4. The proposed variances are considered to be minor. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Committee approve Minor Variance Application 2006-A-22 as revised subject to the following conditions: 1. That the height of the detached garage not exceed 5.2 metres (17 feet); 2. That the proposed detached garage be located no closer than 17 metres (55 feet) from the front lot line, Jermey Lane, in accordance with the sketch submitted with the application; 3. That the sketch submitted with the application as revised indicating the proposed landscaping be approved by the Committee; 4. That an Ontario Land Surveyor provide verification to the Township of compliance with the Committee's decision by verifying in writing that the detached garage be no closer than 17 metres (55 feet) from the front lot line and that the height of the detached garage not exceed 5.2 metres (17 feet); and 5. That the appropriate building permit be obtained from the Township's Chief Building Official only after the Committee's decision becomes final and binding, as provided for within the Planning Act R.S.O. 1990, c.P. 13.

The proponent submitted a series of lengthy and complex legal descriptions and land conveyance history regarding this property. The deferral allowed time for a review of the supporting documentation by the Township solicitor. The purpose of the consent application is for a technical severance to create a new lot which once existed as a separate parcel of land. The lands proposed to be severed would have a lot frontage along Line 10 of approximately 307 metres (1,010 ft), a lot depth of approximately 658 metres (2,160 ft) and a lot area of approximately 20.2 hectares (50 acres). The lands to be retained would have a lot area of approximately 32 hectares (80 acres) and currently contain a dwelling and various outbuildings.

Engineering Department- No Concerns The purpose consent once existed as a separate parcel lot line 10 658 metres to be is for a severance to create a new lot which The lands proposed to be 307 metres (1 0 a lot area of have a area of various The Township's solicitor reviewed the documentation submitted by the applicant and conducted a search of title and provided a report of his findings dated July 25, 2006, of which was provided to the Committee for their review. He concludes that the northeast quarter of Lot 7, Concession 10 was a separate conveyable lot for the period February 28, 1929 to April 15, 1937 owned by Lewis Wesley Duddy when it became merged with the Southeast quarter of Lot 7, also owned by Lewis Wesley Duddy. At this point, there is a merger of title with Lewis Wesley Duddy owning the entire East Half of Lot 7. OFFICIAL PLAN Section 02.3.10 of the Official Plan provides a specific policy to allow Committee to consider applications to re-divide large parcels of agricultural land which have merged in title. The policy states: The creation of new lots to correct a situation where two or more lots have merged on title may be permitted, provided the Committee of Adjustment is satisfied that the new lot: . was once separate conveyable lot in accordance with the Planning Act; . is of the same shape and size as the lot which once existed as a separate conveyable lot; . can be adequately serviced by on-site sewage and water systems; . fronts on a public road that is maintained year-round by a public authority; and . an entrance permit is available for the new driveway accessing the severed lot from the appropriate authority, if required. In order to confirm that the lot to be created was once a conveyable lot, the Committee of Adjustment received registered deeds and the lawyers abstract which indicate that the new lot was once legally conveyable. Based on the site inspection, it was determined that the severed lot, which fronts on an assumed public road, Line 10 North, could be serviced with on-site sewage and water systems, subject to the Building Dept. approval. ZONING BY-LAW The subject property is currently zoned Agricultural/Rural (A/RU) in the Township's Zoning By-law 97-95, as amended. The proposed and retained lots would continue to comply with the provisions of the Agricultural/Rural (A/RU) Zone. CONCLUSION By reviewing the deeds provided by the applicants and by reviewing the lawyers abstract, they confirm that the 50 acre parcel described as Northeast Quarter of Lot Concession 10 was once a separate and conveyable parcel, before the merging with the Southeast Quarter of Lot 7. The proposal appears to meet Section 02.3.10 the Official Plan. that the list Grant 6 1. That three copies of a Reference Plan for the subject lands indicating the severed parcel be prepared by an Ontario Land Surveyor be submitted to the Secretary- Treasurer; 2. That the applicants' solicitor prepares and submits a copy of the proposed conveyance for the parcel severed, for review by the Municipality. Furthermore, the legal description of the severed lot be identical to that contained in the original deed - "The Northeast Quarter, Lot 7, Concession 10 (formerly Township of Medonte), now Township of Oro-Medonte, containing fifty (50) acres" and must be so designated on a Reference Plan to be provided by the Applicant; 3. That the applicants verify that the sewage system meets the minimum required setbacks as per Part 8 of the Ontario Building Code to the satisfaction of the Building Department; and, 4. That the conditions of consent imposed by the Committee be fulfilled within one year from the date of the giving of the notice of decision.

These lands were once a separate conveyable lot having been so created by Deed registered February 28, 1929 as Instrument No. 11543 wherein John Duddy, as Administrator of the Estate of George H. Duddy, conveyed the Northeast Quarter, Lot 7, Concession 10, to Lewis Wesley Duddy. A copy of this Deed is enclosed. Lewis Wesley Duddy subsequently acquired the Southeast Quarter, Lot 7, Concession 10, under the Last Will and Testament of John Duddy registered April 15, 1937. this point, there is a merger of title with Lewis Wesley Duddy owning the East of Lot 7. East Half was 15, 1955 as Instrument so Deed convey to Instrument No . . . 2 The Corporation the Township of Oro-Medonte Attention: Mr. Andy Karaiskakis Planner - 2 - 25, 2006 Therefore, what must be considered by the Committee is as follows: (1 ) The Northeast Quarter of Lot 7, Concession 10, formerly Township of Medonte was a separate conveyable lot for the period February 28, 1929 to April 15, 1937 when it became merged with the Southeast Quarter of Lot 7. Does the fact that almost 70 years has passed since the Northeast Quarter of Lot 7 was a separate conveyable lot have any bearing on the Section D 2.3.1 O(a) of your Official Plan as that Section states the newly created lot must once have been a separate conveyable lot in accordance with the Planning Act? The reason I raise this issue is that the Planning Act was not in effect at that time. (2) Should the Committee decide to grant the severance based on upon Section D 2.3.10, the legal description of the severed lot must be identical to that contained in the original Deed to Lewis Wesley Duddy, that is: "The Northeast Quarter, Lot 7, Concession 10 (formerly Township of Medonte), now Township of Oro-Medonte, containing (50) acres" and must be so designated on a Reference Plan to be provided by the Applicant.

Township of Oro-Medonte Committee of Adjustment Planning Report for September 14, 2006 Ted Pickard & Lisa Truax 2005-8-32 - 2005-8-36 128 Moonstone Road East, Concession 8, East Part Lot 16, 51R-24483, Part 1 PROPOSAL On August 11, 2005, consent application 2005-B-32 - 2005-B-36 was deferred by the Committee of Adjustment which would permit the creation of 5 residential lots. The deferral allowed time for the Township to receive favourable comments from the Public Works Department and from the County of Simcoe for the proposed five lots and for confirmation that the lots can be serviced by the Robincrest Water System. The purpose of applications 2005-B-32, 2005-B-33, 2005-B-34, 2005-B-35, 2005-B-36 is to permit the creation of 5 new residential lots. Each lot to be created is proposed to have a lot frontage of approximately 31.7 metres (104 feet), a lot depth of approximately 65 metres (213.25 feet) and a lot area of approximately 0.2 hectare (0.5 acres). The land proposed to be retained would have a lot area of approximately 16.2 hectares (40 acres). MUNICIPAL POLICY, ZONING AND PREVIOUS APPROVALS Official Plan Designation - Rural Settlement Area, Rural & Environmental Protection Two Overlay Zoning By-law 97-95 - Agricultural/Rural (A/RU) & Environmental Protection (EP) Zones Previous Applications - None AGENCY COMMENTS (space is provided for the Committee to make notes) Simcoe County - See attached correspondence Public Works- Building Department-The Township Building Dept. has reviewed this application and note that the proposal appears to meet the minimum standards. Fire Department Engineering Department-The cost of the up grade to the Robincrest Municipal Water System is $9275 per lot. It is recommended that the upgrade costs be collected now and the upgrades would be completed at the time the Thatcher Development proceeds. All cost to connect to the system would be at the expense of the developer (Truax/Pickard) It is the The lands cover. The intent to create 5 new to be are have an lots on Moonstone vacant with a amount East. tree OFFICIAL PLAN The lands subject to the severances are designated Rural Settlement Area in the Oro- Medonte Official Plan. Section 04.3 of the Township's Official Plan provides the following direction to Committee in considering an application for land division in the Rural Settlement Area Designation: Land division by Plan of Subdivision, rather than by consent to sever, shall generally be deemed necessary if: a) the extension of an existing public road or the development of a new public road is required to access the proposed lots; or, b) the extension of a municipal water system is required to service the proposed lots; or, c) the area that is proposed to be developed is not considered to be infilling; or, d) a Plan of Subdivision is required to ensure that the entire land holding or area is developed in an orderly and efficient manner; or, e) more than three new lots are being created. As the policy states that land division by Plan of Subdivision rather than by consent to sever shall generally be deemed necessary if more than three new lots are being created, it is the Planning Departments opinion that the creation of five residential lots can be created through consent rather than by Plan of Subdivision, especially in light of the fact no new road is required. As a result, Committee shall consider the policies contained in Section 04.3.2, land division by consent: The creation of new lots for any permitted use by consent to sever is permitted, provided a Plan of Subdivision is not required in accordance with Section 04.3.1 and provided the proposed lot: a) fronts onto an existing public road that is maintained year round by a the Township, County or Province; b) will not cause a traffic hazard as a result of its location on a curve or a hill; c) can be serviced with an appropriate water supply and an appropriate means of sewage disposal; d) complies with the County of Simcoe access policies if the proposed lot is to be accessed by a County road; and, e) is not located on lands designated Rural Settlement Area in the Forest Home or Prices Corners Settlement Areas. If the proposed consent is granted, the severed lot fronts onto a public road that is maintained year round by the County. Discussion with the Township Engineer revealed that the applicants agreed to connect the proposed 5 lots to the Robincrest Municipal Water System and the cost associated with the connection be at the expense of the applicants. Furthermore, the County of Simcoe Transportation Maintenance Manager advised that the minimum sight distances for all 5 proposed lots can be achieved and entrance permits will be available provided all conditions are met and the lots are registered by the Based on the comments above, it has been that a Plan of Subdivision is not necessary and it that the proposed the intent of the ZONING BY-LAW The lands subject to the application are currently zoned Agricultural/Rural (A/RU) in the Township's Zoning By-law 97-95, as amended. The proposed severed lots would be required to be rezoned as a condition of consent to reflect its intended usage for residential purposes. The proposed severed lots would meet the minimum requirement of the Residential One (R1) Zone. The retained lot would continue to comply with the provisions of the Agricultural/Rural (A/RU) zone.

Please be advised that minimum sight distances for all 5 proposed lots can in fact be achieved.

Regards, Christian Meile, Transportation Maintenance Manager of Simcoe . 12 June 2006 I Ms. Lisa Truax 128 Moonstone Road East Moonstone ON LOK 1 NO Dear Ms. Truax, Re: Severance Applications 2005-8-32 - 2005-8-36, Concession 8, East Part Lot 16, RP 51R-24483 (Medonte) Further to your phone enquiry, this letter has been drafted to provide you with an update on the status of the above noted applications regarding the proposed creation of 5 new residential lots. The subject lands currently have an area of approximately 42 acres and have frontage along Moonstone Road. On August 11, 2005, the Committee of Adjustment deferred the above noted applications to allow time for the Township to receive favourable comments from the County of Simcoe and for confirmation that the lots can be serviced by the Robincrest Water System. To date, the Township is in receipt of correspondence dated August 9, 2005 from the County of Simcoe, a copy of which is attached for your information. While the County has provided conditions of approval, it also states that the availability of sight distances for the proposed lots should be provided prior to approval. It is therefore recommended that the County be contacted in order to satisfy this requirement in order to ensure that safe access can be provided to the proposed new lots. In respect of servicing, be advised that the proposed lots are designated Rural Settlement Area in the Oro-Medonte Official Plan. Section 04.3.1 of the Township's Official Plan provides the following direction in considering an application for land division in the Rural Settlement Area Designation: "The creation new lots for any permitted use by consent to sever is permitted, provided a Plan of Subdivision is required in accordance Section 04.3.1 and provided the proposed is maintained year a on a curve or a an appropriate means access if is to e) is not located on lands designated Rural Settlement Area in the Forest Home or Prices Corners Settlement Areas." The Provincial Policy Statement which came into effect on March 1, 2005 provides policy direction on matters related to land use planning and development. The Provincial Policy Statement also sets policy foundation for regulating the development and use of land. Section 1.6.4.2 of the PPS states that Municipal sewage services and municipal water services are the preferred form of servicing for settlement areas. Furthermore, the PPS requires that municipal decisions shall be consistent with the PPS. Comments from the Engineering Department state that the capacity of the Robincrest Water System which services the community of Moonstone will need to be confirmed to determine whether or not the system can service five more additional lots. After discussions with Mr. Keith Mathieson, Director of Engineering and Environmental Services, he advises that the Robincrest Water System requires upgrading for the proposed five lots. Given this policy framework, subject to confirmation that appropriate and safe access can be provided from the County, it is staff's position that the proposed new lots must be serviced via the municipal water system which will be a condition of consent. I trust this provides an update on this file. If you require further information please contact this office. Yours truly, cc.

The land to be severed is proposed to have a lot frontage of 244.7 metres (803 feet) along Moon Point Drive, a lot depth of approximately 45.7 metres (150 feet) and a lot area of approximately 1.2 hectares (2.76 acres). The land proposed to be retained would have a lot frontage along Moon Point Drive of 54.8 metres (180 feet) and a lot area of approximately 0.6 hectares (1.48 acres). MUNICIPAL POLICY, ZONING AND PREVIOUS APPROVALS Official Plan Designation - Restricted Rural Zoning By-law 97-95 -Shoreline Residential Exception (SR*2) Zone Previous Applications - None AGENCY COMMENTS (space is provided for the Committee to make notes) Simcoe County Public Works- Building Department-The Township Building Dept has reviewed this application and note that the proposal appears to meet the minimum standards Engineering Department- No concerns PLANNING DEPARTMENT BACKGROUND It is the applicant's intent to create a new lot fronting on Moon Point Drive, as shown on the attached. The lands proposed to be severed are currently vacant while the retained lands have an existing single detached dwelling. Both lots have a significant amount of tree cover. OFFICIAL PLAN The subject lands are designated Restricted Rural in the Oro-Medonte Official Plan. Section D11.3.1 states the following: 011.3.1 The creation of new lots for residential purposes The creation of new lots for residential purposes shall not be permitted on lands in the Restricted Rural designation, unless the lot is for a bona fide farmer in accordance with the policies of Section 02.3.1. The creation of new lots in this is not This was included within the Official Plan in 997 to ensure that lands that are to the two urban Barrie and are from development, to discourage the development of scattered residential, commercial and industrial uses in the area surrounding Barrie and Orillia and to maintain and preserve the rural character of the area by clearly defining the urban boundary of the Cities of Barrie and Orillia. The current Official Plan does not contemplate the creation of new lots for residential purposes in the Restricted Rural designation, unless the lot is for a retiring bona farmer. This section is proposed to be deleted by the Township to comply with the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) which came into effect March 1, 2005. Official Plan Amendment #17 which was a general Amendment to the Official Plan was adopted by Council in August 2003, approved by the County of Simcoe on November 10, 2004 and is awaiting final approval by the Ontario Ministry Board. The Restricted Rural designation is not proposed to be changed, therefore the proposal also is not in keeping with OPA #17. ANAL YSIS Notwithstanding the fact that the severed and retained lot would comply with the provisions of the Shoreline Residential Zone, the intent of the Official Plan with respect to character and form of development takes precedence when considering an application for consent. In this case, the current Official Plan protects lands adjacent to Barrie and Orillia from development and to discourage the development of scattered residential, commercial and industrial uses in the area surrounding Barrie and Orillia. Given that the proposal involves dividing a 1.8 hectare lot into two by way of consent, the creation of a new infilling lot does not conform with the intent of the Official Plan and should be refused. Although only one new lot is being proposed, the application would not be in keeping with the existing Official Plan nor the policy directives in the recently approved OPA #17 and therefore would not constitute good planning. CONCLUSION The application should not be supported as follows: 1 . Conformity with Section 011.3.1 of the Official Plan is not achieved; 2. The proposed new lot would not be in keeping with the Provincial Policy Statement; 3. The proposal does not constitute good planning; 4. Conformity with OPA #17 is not achieved. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Committee not grant Provisional Consent to application 2006-B-21 for the reasons outlined herein.

Lot 16 (Former Township of Orillia) 373 Moon Point Drive Due to prior commitments we will be unable to attend the hearing on September 1 2006. However, we would like to express our concerns regarding the proposed permit to create a new residential lot The area is a very unique with all of its rolling hills and vacant land. The reason we purchased our property was due to the "up-north" atmosphere. We feel allowing this new residnetallot to be developed would hinder this atmosphere. When we purchased our property we investigated the proposed development of the area and this property was not designated in the original plan. Had it been it would have altered our decision on purchasing the property. the issue the water table been addressed? We feel that on would have a negative impact on the water table in the area. Whose responsibility is it to ensure that it will not have a negative impact? What is our guarantee that this lot will not be subdivided? With a lot this size one has to wonder whether or not it is meant for a single dwelling or multiple dwellings. We trust our concerns will be addressed and we await your reply. 1 Township of Oro-Medonte Committee of Adjustment Planning Report for September 14, 2006 Alfred & Beverley Bard 2006-A-27 Concession 14, South Part Lot 2 (Oro) THE PROPOSAL The applicants are proposing to construct a 1,500 to 2,000 ft2 single detached dwelling at the above location. The subject property is currently zoned Agricultural/Rural *Exception 15, and is described in the Township Zoning By-law as follows: 7.15 *15 - LANDS ADJACENT TO SETTLEMENT AREAS Notwithstanding any other provision in this By-law, only uses that existed on the effective date of this By-law are permitted on those lands denoted by the svmbol *15 on the schedules to this By-law. As the subject property is vacant, the applicants are requesting relief from Section 7.15 of Zoning By-law 97-95 to permit the construction of a single detached dwelling as well as accessory buildings/structures. MUNICIPAL POLICY, ZONING AND PREVIOUS APPROVALS Official Plan Designation - Rural Settlement Area Zoning By-law 97-95 - Agricultural/Rural Exception Fifteen (A/RU*15) Zone Previous Applications - none AGENCY COMMENTS (space is provided for the Committee to make notes) Public Works Department- Building Department - The Township Building Dept. has reviewed this application and note that the proposal appears to meet the minimum standards. Also note that this is not approval for any particular development proposal. Engineering Department - No concerns PLANNING FRAMEWORK subject Broadview has a road 280 metres 8 approximately 198 metres (650 feet) along Bass Line and a lot area 3.8 hectares (9.5 acres). The lands are a vacant farm with intent to construct a single detached Does the to the intent Plan sets out Rural .. To maintain and create attractive communities with suitable amenities. .. To ensure that settlement areas are developed in a logical and cost-effective manner. Committee should also be aware that the subject property has been redesignated from the Rural Settlement Area to Shoreline as part of the Official Plan review (OPA#17). OPA #17 which was a general Amendment to the Official Plan was adopted by Council in August 2003, approved by the County of Simcoe on November 10, 2004 and is awaiting final approval by the Ontario Municipal Board. It is intended that the subject lands not be included in the Prices Corners Settlement Area and therefore no intent to develop the lands for future expansion in the Prices Corners Rural Settlement Area. The applicant's proposal does not appear to offend these principles given that the variance will accommodate development in a manner that is generally consistent with the rural character. On the basis that a single detached dwelling as well as accessory uses is a permitted use on lands designated Rural Settlement Area, the proposal is considered to conform with the intent of the Official Plan. Under the proposed OPA #17 policies, it is noted that further development of this property for additional lots is likely. Such further land division would require a rezoning to reflect the intended usage. Does the variance conform to the general intent of the Zoning By-law? The subject property is zoned Agricultural/Rural Exception Fifteen (A/RU*15). Exception Fifteen permits only uses that existed on the effective date of the By-law, in this case, vacant land. The existing zoning does not permit a dwelling to be constructed on the subject property, therefore a minor variance is being requested by the applicants. Notwithstanding Exception 15, the existing lot exceeds the By-law requirement for lot area and lot frontage in an AlRU Zone for a residential use. Is the variance appropriate for the desirable development of the lot? The nature of development proposed appears modest and will not lead to over development of the lot. The proposed variance should provide for a form of development that is suitable and consistent with the surrounding area as the property is located adjacent to the Prices Corners Settlement Area and would be adjacent to and across from existing homes. Is the variance minor? On the basis that the proposed dwelling would not adversely affect the character of the residential area, the proposed variance is considered to be minor in nature. The tests a new as follows: on four 1. The is to with intent Plan. 2. The proposal is considered to conform with the intent of the Zoning By-law as the proposed dwelling will meet the minimum required setbacks from the property lines for the A/RU Zone 3. The proposed variance should provide for a form of development that is suitable and consistent with the surrounding area as the property is located adjacent to the Prices Corners Settlement Area and would be adjacent to and across from existing homes. 4. The proposed variance is considered to be minor in nature. RECOMMENDATIONS It is recommended that the Committee Approve Minor Variance 2006-A-27 subject to the following conditions: 1. That the appropriate building permit be obtained from the Township's Chief Building Official only after the Committee's decision becomes final and binding, as provided for within the Planning Act R.S.O. 1990, c.P. 13; and, 2.

Township of Oro-Medonte Committee of Adjustment Planning Report for September 14, 2004 Kimberley Olynyk 2006-A-28 THE PROPOSAL The applicant is proposing to construct a 115.94 square metre (1248 square foot) detached accessory building, consisting of a 4-bay garage for vehicle parking. The applicant is requesting relief of the following provisions from Zoning By-law 97-95: Section 5.1.6 Maximum Floor Area: The maximum floor area of anyone detached accessory building or structure, excluding boathouses, is 70 square metres (753.5 square feet). MUNICIPAL POLICY, ZONING AND PREVIOUS APPROVALS Official Plan Designation - Shoreline Zoning By-law 97-95 - Shoreline Residential (SR) Zone Previous Applications None AGENCY COMMENTS (space is provided for the Committee to make notes) Municipal Works/Roads - no concerns Building Department - Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority - Engineering Department - no concerns PLANNING FRAMEWORK Background The subject property has a road frontage of approximately 65 metres (213 feet), a shoreline frontage of approximately 270 metres (886 feet), a lot depth of approximately 192 metres (630 feet) and a land area (excluding the "water lot" portion) of 1.78 ha ~4.4 acres). The applicant is proposing to build a detached 4 car garage with an area of 115.94 m (1248 n\ The Four Tests of the Minor Variance Do the variances conform with the intent of the Official Plan? The is designated Shoreline and zoned Shoreline Residential. The proposed which would the construction of a detached accessory to a residential use is in with the intent of shoreline within the Official Plan. Do the variances conform to the general intent of the Zoning By-law? One of the purposes of restricting the floor area of accessory buildings is to ensure that such structures maintain a sense of scale with residential uses, and to prevent the overdevelopment of lots within residential neighbourhoods. The subject property is heavily treed, and the proposed garage will be adequately buffered from neighbouring residences. As well, the property slopes in a manner from the road, down to Lake Simcoe, in that the proposed garage will not likely be visible from Barrie Terrace, or by neighbours to the east and west. Further, the proposed structure meets and exceeds the front yard, interior side yard, and Lake Simcoe shoreline setbacks, as prescribed. Therefore, the variance would be in keeping with the general intent of the Zoning By-law. Are the variances appropriate for the desirable development of the lot? The applicant's lot is a very large shoreline residential property, and the proposed building constitutes a permitted and compatible use within the context of the surrounding neighbourhood. On this basis, the proposal is considered appropriate for the desirable development of the subject lot. Are the variances minor? On the basis that the size of the garage in contrast to the proposed dwelling appears to be reasonable, and the existence of adequate natural buffering from neighbouring properties, the proposed variance should not adversely affect the character of the shoreline residential, and is considered to be minor. CONCLUSIONS 1. The proposed variance generally satisfies the 4 tests of a minor variance. RECOMMENDATIONS It is recommended that Committee grant minor variance 2006-A-28, subject to the following conditions: 1. That the applicant obtain approval from the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority, ifrequired; 2. That the floor area of the proposed garage be no greater than 115.94 square metres (1248 square feet); 3. That the appropriate building permits be obtained from the Township's Chief Building Official only after the Committee's decision becomes final and binding, as provided for within the Planning Act R.S.O. 1990, c.P. 13 and that building on the dwelling and shed commence at the same time; of which is Reviewed MCI P RPP Senior Planner Adam B.URPI Technician fi~"'L ?ROi"(<!

The second proposed deck, at the rear of the master bedroom, is proposed to have an area of 6 square metres (64.5 square feet). The eastern portion of the property contains Environmental Protection (EP) Zoning. The applicant is requesting the following relief from Section 5.28 of Zoning By-law 97-95: Setback to EP Zone (ReQuired) 30 Metres (98.4 feet) Setback to EP Zone (Proposed) Deck #1: 10 metres (32 feet) Deck #2: 20 metres (65 feet) MUNICIPAL POLICY, ZONING AND PREVIOUS APPROVALS Official Plan Designation - Agricultural & Environmental Protection One Zoning By-law 97-95 - Agricultural/Rural (A/RU) and Environmental Protection Zones AGENCY COMMENTS (space is provided for the Committee to make notes) Public Works Department- Building Department- The Township Building Department has reviewed this application and note that an Ontario Land Surveyor to pin foundation and provide verification to Township Building Dept. Engineering Department - No concerns Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority- PLANNING FRAMEWORK Background a lot 1.44 hectares (3.56 121 The has a street of approximately 189 metres (620 feet) and a lot area is Does the variance conform to the general intent of the Official Plan? The property is designated Agricultural and Environmental Protection One in the Official Plan. The primary function of the Agricultural designation is to protect land suitable for agricultural production from development and land uses unrelated to agricultural and to preserve and promote the agricultural character of the Township and the maintenance of the open countryside. Permitted uses in the Agricultural designation includes single detached dwellings as well as accessory uses. In reviewing Schedule B-Components of the Environmental Protection One & Two Designations, it appears that the Environmental Protection located on the lands is part of the Vasey Swamp, a wetland, and also Significant Woodlands, one of the components of the Environmental Protection One Designation. As the existing dwelling and proposed decks will maintain the character of the rural community and are on lands which do not involve agricultural activity, the proposal appears to conform with the intent of the policies contained in the Official Plan. Does the variance conform to the general intent of the Zoning By-law? In assessing the issue of compliance with the Zoning By-law, the proposed decks should not detract from the overall character of the lot and surrounding natural features being the mature trees being located to the east of the dwelling. One of the purposes of regulating structures being built within the limits of Environmental Protection Zone is to maintain and enhance the ecological integrity of the natural heritage system, to ensure that development does not occur on lands that are unstable or susceptible to flooding and to ensure that development does not occur on hazardous slopes. In reviewing Schedule B-Components of the Environmental Protection One & Two Designations, it appears that the Environmental Protection located on the lands is part of the Vasey Swamp, not a Provincially Significant Wetland but classified as Other Wetlands (EP1). The map does indicate the mature trees on the lot as Significant Woodlands. At the time of writing this report, the application has been circulated to the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority who has not commented on the proposal to date. Based on site inspection, the area appears to be high and dry and the closest corner of the deck is setback approximately 10 metres from the EP Zone Boundary. On the basis of the above, the proposed decks would therefore conform with the general intent of the Zoning By-law subject to NVCA endorsement which will be recommended as a condition of approval. Is the variance appropriate for the desirable development of the lot? The nature of development proposed appears to be appropriate, as this would permit two deck additions to be located at the rear of the dwelling. The granting of this variance would not lead to the over development of the lot and would be in keeping with the rural character of the area. On this basis, the variance proposed is appropriate for the desirable development of the lot. Is the As is aware, "minor" is not on a that the proposal is and would not appear to the variance is CONCLUSIONS The proposed variance generally satisfies the 4 tests of a minor variance as follows: 1 . The existing dwelling and proposed decks will maintain the character of the rural community and are on lands which do not involve agricultural activity and as such, the proposal appears to conform with the intent of the policies contained in the Official Plan. 2. The proposed decks conform with the general intent of the Zoning By-law subject to NVCA endorsement which will be recommended as a condition of approval. 3. The proposed variance is considered to be minor, subject to NVCA approval 4. The granting of this variance would not lead to the over development of the lot and would be in keeping with the rural character of the area RECOMMENDATIONS It is recommended that the Committee approve minor variance 2006-A-29 subject to the following conditions: 1. That the size and setbacks of the proposed addition be in conformity with the sketches submitted with the application and approved by the Committee; 2. That the applicant obtain a permit (or approval) from the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority under the Conservation Authorities Act, if required; 3. That an Ontario Land Surveyor provide verification to the Township of compliance with the Committee's decision by 1) pinning the footing and 2) verifying in writing prior to pouring of the foundation so that a. Deck 1 be located no closer than 10 metres (33 feet) and Deck 2 be located no closer than 20 metres (66 feet) from the Environmental Protection Zone Boundary; and, 4. That the appropriate building permit be obtained from the Township's Chief Building Official only after the Committee's decision becomes final and binding, as provided for within the Planning Act RS.O. 1990, c.P. 13.

The addition is proposed to have a ground floor area of 36.4 square metres (392 square feet). The applicant is requesting the following relief from Zoning By-law 97-95: Zone: Shoreline Residential Minimum Required Interior Side Yard Setback ReQuired 3.0 m (9.84 ft) Proposed 1.9 m (6.2 ft) MUNICIPAL POLICY, ZONING AND PREVIOUS APPROVALS Official Plan Designation -Shoreline Zoning By-law 97-95 - Residential Limited Service with Holding Provision (RLS(H)) Previous Applications - (space is for to make notes) Public Works Department- Building Department -The Township Building Dept. has reviewed this application and comment that the applicant to verify that the sewage system meets the minimum required setbacks as per Part 8 of the Ontario Building Code and that an Ontario Land Surveyor to pin for setbacks to septic and property line and provide verification to Building Department Engineering Department - No concerns PLANNING FRAMEWORK Background The subject property has a road frontage of approximately 15.5 metres (51 feet), a shoreline frontage of approximately 15.2 metres (50 feet) and a lot area of approximately 969 (10,430 ft2). The lands are currently accessed by a private right of way and are occupied by a single detached dwelling and a detached garage located in the front yard. The applicant is proposing construct a two storey to the front an area of approximately 196 m2 17 with an attached porch. The second storey will towards the lakeside will not encompass the rear portion the Great has an area 23 (247 which The intends to the at the lakeside the The reason for minor with the minimum as the the metres from the does not for the east lot lot line. As the shown on as is that the side setback 3 2.1 metres a minor variance for encroachment into the required side lot line. It should be noted that as the existing dwelling is not parallel with the interior lot line, therefore the proposed addition will not maintain the existing 2.1 metres (7 feet); the closest corner of the addition will be set back 1.9 metres (6.2 feet) from the side lot line. It is the intent of the applicant to attach the detached garage to the dwelling with a porch and covered breezeway. Do the variances conform to the general intent of the Official Plan? The property is designated Shoreline in the Official Plan. Section D10.1 which contains the Shoreline policies in the Township's Official Plan sets out the following objectives: .. To maintain the existing character of this predominantly residential area. CD To protect the natural features of the shoreline area and the immediate shoreline. The requested variances for the additions would appear to maintain the character of the shoreline and surrounding residential area as the proposed additions will not be located closer to the Lake than the existing dwelling, and has a limited vegetative buffer from the neighbouring lots. Therefore, the proposal would conform with the intent of the policies contained in the Official Plan. Do the variances conform to the general intent of the Zoning By-law? The subject lot is currently zoned Residential Limited Service with a Holding Provision (RLS- H). One of the purposes or goals of maintaining side yard setbacks in residential areas is to ensure privacy between properties and provide between the front and rear yards. The existing dwelling complies with the 3 metre (9.8 feet) minimum interior side setback required in Zoning By-law 97-95 from the westerly property line. The site inspection revealed that the mature trees on the easterly lot will provide a form of privacy for the subject lands and will have little or no impact on the intent of the by-law to provide a low density residential character to the lot or the subdivision. Furthermore, a two storey dwelling is a permitted use in the RLS Zone. It should be noted that the subject lands are within the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority regulated area, therefore at the time of issuance of a building permit, the applicants would be required to contact the LSRCA for approval. On the basis of the above, the proposal is considered to conform with the general intent of the By-law. Are the variances appropriate for the desirable development of the lot? Based on the site inspection, the proposed additions would appear to be appropriate for the desirable development of the lot and in keeping with the surrounding shoreline residential area. Given that the dwelling including the proposed additions would take up approximately 13% of the total lot area, the proposal would provide for a form of development that is suitable and consistent the surrounding neighbourhood and would not lead to the over development of lot. the not the to the area, the CONCLUSIONS The proposed variances for a two storey addition, the change in roofline at the lakeside of the dwelling and the attached porch with a covered breezeway generally satisfies the 4 tests of a minor variance as follows: 1. The existing dwelling and proposed additions will maintain the character of the shoreline residential and as such, the proposal appears to conform with the intent of the policies contained in the Official Plan. 2. The proposed additions conform with the general intent of the Zoning By-law as minor additions which will have little or no impact on the surrounding neighbours. 3. The proposed variance is considered to be minor 4. The granting of these variances would not lead to the over development of the lot and would be in keeping with the shoreline character of the area RECOMMENDATIONS It is recommended that the Committee Approve Minor Variance 2006-A-30 subject to the following conditions: 1. That the appropriate building permit be obtained from the Township's Chief Building Official only after the Committee's decision becomes final and binding, as provided for within the Planning Act R.S.O. 1990, c.P. 13; 2. That the applicant satisfy the comments made by the Township Building Department; 3. That the proposed addition be no closer than 1.9 m (6.2 ft)) from the interior side lot line; 4. That an Ontario Land Surveyor provide verification to the Township of compliance with the Committee's decision by 1) pinning the footing and 2) verifying in writing prior to pouring of the foundation by way of survey/ real property report prepared by an Ontario Land Surveyor; and, 5. That the setbacks be in conformity with the dimensions as set out in the application and on the sketches submitted with the application dated August 24, 2006 and approved by the Committee.

The subject property also contains an existing frame garage. The subject property, including the "water lot", consists of approximately 0.93 acres total. However, the land area of the property consists of approximately 0.56 acres. As the total area of the above-noted accessory structures excluding the boathouse is approximately 177 square metres (1,913 square feet), the applicant has exceeded the 5% maximum lot coverage for accessory buildings by approximately 2.7%. As such, the applicant is requesting relief of the following provision from Zoning By-law 97-95: 5.1.5 Maximum lot coverage The maximum lot coverage of all detached accessory buildings and structures on a lot, excluding boathouses, is 5 percent.

The applicant has since submitted revised plans and drawings showing the detached garage and is now requesting the following relief from Zoning By-law 97-95: 1. Section 5.1.5 Maximum lot coveraqe for detached accessory buildinqs; to allow a detached building to be constructed that will result in the total cumulative lot coverage for all detached accessory structures on the property to be 7.8% (where the Zoning By- law prescribes a maximum cumulative coverage of 5%). 2. Section 5.1.6 Maximum floor area for the detached building from the required 70 square metres (753.5 square feet) to a proposed 84.5 square metres (910 square feet) . MUNICIPAL POLICY, ZONING AND PREVIOUS APPROVALS Official Plan Designation Rural Settlement Area Zoning By-law 97-95 - Residential One Previous Applications- AGENCY COMMENTS (space is for the Committee to make notes) Public Works Department- Building Department- Engineering Department- No concerns PLANNING FRAMEWORK Background subject property has a road frontage of 46 metres (153 feet), a lot depth of 51 metres (168 feet) and a lot area of approximately 0.25 hectares (0.6 acres). The lands currently have an old school house which has converted to a residence, a detached garage area 69 and a shed an area of 40 m2 o lot and 2.5m (8.2 the above noted relief for the accommodate room for an RV. The Four Tests of the Minor Variance Do the variances conform with the general intent of the Official Plan? The property is designated Rural Settlement Area. The primary function of the Rural Settlement Area designation is to identify and permit residential uses which are compatible and in keeping with the character of a residential community. Given the revised size of the storage building, being 910 fe, the variance would be in keeping with the character of development of the residential area. On this basis, the proposal would be in keeping with the intent of the Official Plan. Do the variances conform the general intent of the Zoning By-law? The subject property is zoned Residential One (R 1). It is the applicants' intent to use the proposed building for storage of an RV. The intent of the Zoning By-law is to provide regulations which should foster compatibility amongst land uses and structures. With respect to accessory buildings, zoning regulations typically aim to ensure that such buildings are clearly accessory and incidental to the primary use of the lot. The primary reason for controlling maximum floor areas on accessory buildings in a residential area is to ensure that structures are consistent with the character of a community and do not evolve into other secondary or subsequent land uses, such as an apartment or industrial uses. Including the detached garage, the lot coverage of all detached accessory buildings will exceed the required maximum lot coverage of 5%, as the proposed storage building will increase the lot coverage to 7.8%. Given these factors, the proposal is deemed to conform with the general intent of the Zoning By-law. Are the variances appropriate for the desirable development of the Detached storage buildings and garages are a common element in all types of residential areas. The applicant has reduced the size of the proposed storage building from 123.93 sq. metres (1334 sq. feet) to 84.5 sq. metres (910 sq. feet) - as such, the revised size of the proposed structure is appropriate and compatible with the characteristics of the property and surrounding residential lots. Are the variances minor? The application is deemed to be minor on the basis that the applicant has complied with the tests noted above. There is merit that the detached garage will maintain the minimum setback from the side and front lot lines, as well as the minimum distance from the abutting detached garage. The subject addresses the 4 tests minor variance. The proposal as on the easterly structure into lot from the original proposal. Given these factors, the reduced floor area is deemed to conform with the general intent of the Zoning By-law. The minor variance as revised to a maximum floor area of 910 fe is now considered to be consistent with the character of a residential lot and the overall residential area. On this basis, the application is deemed to be appropriate for the desirable development of the lot. The application is deemed to be minor in nature on the basis that the application meets the four tests of the minor variance, that an accessory building is a permitted use on a residential property, that the proposed structure is well setback from the front lot line and is buffered from the easterly property line by mature trees and that the revised floor area is compatible with the overall residential area for the storage of an RV. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Committee approved Minor Variance application 2006-A-24 as revised for a 84.5 m2 (910 ft2) detached coverall building accessory to a residential use subject to the following conditions: 1. That the size of the proposed detached coverall building be no larger than 84.5 m2 (910 fe); 2.
